More Good Reasons
Great time to joinOfficially launched in July 2019, Acoustic emerged from IBM's marketing and commerce software offerings, and is backed by private equity firm Centerbridge Partners. On day one we had 1100 employees and 3500+ clients globally, and we've been ranked an industry leader by analysts more than 10 times in the past year. At the same time, we're taking a blank-page approach to the new organization. Fresh thinking is encouraged and new ideas are welcomed.
Commitment to the leading edge
We are investing millions of dollars over the next few months to ensure we have the most modern platform on the market. This includes revamping products to feature future-looking technologies, including built-in AI. You'll play a key role in these efforts. In addition, we're committed to staying ahead of the technology curve, in order to ensure our open technology platform maintains its competitive edge.
The AI advantage
Acoustic always has been a pioneer and innovator in the AI marketing space. Our products leverage Watson, IBM's AI platform -- the one that beat two Jeopardy! champions. Rather than simply layering AI on top of our products, we are integrating it seamlessly into the products.
